Longtime #SDCC attendee, first-time panelist! I’ll be on the “Writing Psychologically Rich Characters” panel at #SanDiegoComicCon on Saturday, July 26 @ 6pm. Come for the insights, hang around after to say hi 👋

#SDCC2025 #TVWritersPanel #Lucifer #CobraKai

Have you listened to my #ScreenwritersRantRoom interview w/ @hilliardguess.bsky.social yet? Tales of how I broke into Hollywood, my #FLASH rollercoaster, the #LUCIFER call that changed my life, the unusual way I joined the #COBRAKAI dojo, & so much more. LISTEN at:

Check out my fun conversation with Peter @ Cobra Kai Kompanion if you’d like to hear some of my origin story, a few #Lucifer insights, a TON of #CobraKai behind-the-scenes discussion, and evidence that I move my hands a lot when I talk 🤪

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs.

(“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

Same. I learned volumes dissecting structure for my LOST and CASTLE specs. Mimicked voice for my BUFFY. Learned speed writing my WALKING DEAD. And put it all to the test on a show I wasn’t previously familiar with when writing my JUSTIFIED spec. Every single experience informative… and FUN!

#ShowYourInfluences time. What MOVIE, TV SHOW, COMIC, and CHARACTER were most formative to who you are? I’ll start…

Movie: THE KARATE KID
TV Show: BUFFY
Comic: UNCANNY X-MEN
Character: SPIDER-MAN

Your turn!

What are you watching on Netflix tonight? How about the 5-episode GRAND FINALE of #CobraKai! Writing the middle one (613 "Skeletons") was a very special experience for me. For many reasons, all of them having to do with my love of the original #KarateKid ✨😌✨ #nospoilers #IYKYK

Go watch #ParadiseonHulu NOW. Without reading about it. Without watching the trailer. Trust me. Let the first ep surprise you like it did me. Best viewing experience I’ve had in ages.

Alright, what's your #comicsdna? The comic books that were formative to you. Here are four of mine:

If you went to college:
1. Career goal when you started?
2. Initial major?
3. If you changed majors, what did you change to?
4. What do you do now?

1. Comic Book Artist
2. Art
3. Film Studies
4. TV Writer

It’s been a journey!
In between 3 & 4, I had an entire career in graphic design.

#TheKarateKid is my favorite movie of all time. So you can imagine how excited I was to finally meet THIS guy on set.
